bush did not run for president -- if you go back to his campaign, he did not run promising a big defense buildup and he was not intending to make foreign policy the centerpiece of his policy, and he ended up making the most fraught decision about the war in iraq. i do not think cutting our military will be the best way to keep us out of trouble in the south china sea. i want steadiness and resolve and let's sustain the rebalance. that means we can make modest cuts in defense. >> amen. i feel like i should applaud. i think that was very powerful on michael's part. i would not put all my eggs in one basket. i want peace through strength or a modern-day version of it because i want a military that deters. i want other things, too. i want strong allies, our partners' capacity to be robust enough to defend themselves if needed and take care of their neighborhoods, so to speak. i want all of our tools of soft power to be effective, partly through the reinforcement from our hard power. i want a lot of things. i want economic strength, etc. but the pointy edge is to have this tremendously capabl

. >> reporter: a third former president-- george w. bush-- was unable to attend today, as he recovers from a recent heart procedure. instead, he issued a statement saying: the moment that dr. king delivered his famous address-- with the appeal to "let freedom ring"-- was marked by a bell- ringing ceremony. that set the stage for the first african american president, who said the struggle for economic opportunity remains the nation's great unfinished business, but he voiced hope. there's a reason why so many who marched that day, and in the days to come, were young-- for the young are unconstrained by habits of fear, by the conventions of what is. they dared to dream differently, to imagine something better. and i am convinced that same imagination, the same hunger of purpose, stirs in this generation. we may not face the same dangers of 1963, but the fierce urgency of now remains. we may never duplicate the swelling crowds and dazzling procession of that day so long ago-- no one can match king's brilliance but the same flame can light

george bush partially declassified it. i learned, for the first time, o my extreme dismay, in the first three-and-a-half years of this program which was developed by the bush administration, the president had used his article 2 authorities as the commander-in-chief to run the programs rather than the provisions of law, fica, which congress enacted in 1978, a fact you ought to all know, the foreign intelligence control act, was passed in 191978 in response to the abuses of the nixon administration and the recommendations of the church commission and set up a careful system of the fisa court which you understand how that works, composed of federal judges, and intelligence committees on the hill which were set up then to monitor. and it worked very well in my view through 2001. and then the bush administration yanked it and ran it a different way. congress after that pulled it back under fisa. and i think -- i believe strongly that maybe the amount of meta dathea is excessive. i'm sure my buddy here thinks this. and that ough
